Hello friend. For flatbread we used flour with lard and water. Mix and knead the ingredients thoroughly and shape them in thin circle shape. Shashlik or skewers is marinated meat on stick. This time we used chicken meat and marinated it with a lot of onions and wine. The acid form both had tenderized the meat. You can also add some salt, origano and if you are rich enough use some black pepper. Soup is not difficult to make. Just put all the veggies you have in one pot and boil them. P.S. Add some lard for flavor ;)
@@RavensOfAsgardThanks. Is it really traditional for Vikings to have used lard? I read they used butter in the sagas, but never read that they used lard.
@@wms72 Animal fats were more commonly used since it last much longer than butter. Also, butter could only be made during short periods in spring and summer.
Came here via the sidebar watching Saxon Forager. I'm an old woman now but was once a Viking Age reenactor so I like to watch these vids for nostalgia's sake. I still say one of the most important skills we can preserve is the art of making fire. This was superbly done.
Sometimes i'm questioning, i am living in a wrong timeline. It seems like everything was beautiful, natural and good back then. Amazing work from foods to the clothes.
Thank you. I was questioning myself the same question, then I realize that now is the perfect time. Everything is avaliable and with just a little effort and motivation you can achive any lifestyle you want. Stay strong💪😉
There are so many different corners of the world to discover new flavors and spice up your life. Shashlik is very basic meat skewers marinated and grilled over charcoal. Enjoy it.
Shashlik is an example of the Viking influence on Russian culture as if the name russia wasn’t already A huge hint as the name Russia is derived from the Rus’ Vikings
Nice video ! I will come back and watch your other stuff cause this one was pretty awesome , followed emediatelly! I don‘t get why youtube didn‘t show me your chanel before. Actually i was looking for „ viking cooking pots „ / just cause the description „Viking“ is used for the common topic. So im looking for a pot like this ESPECIALLY IN SIZE ! This one seems great. How many liters is this one !? 1,5 l to 2.5 l probbably , how is it exactly !? You realy would help me out… Slava !
Thank you very much. This cooking pot is max 2 l. We bought it in Prague at medieval market. This one is really great, works perfect for us. Stay safe. Slava.
@@RavensOfAsgard thank you realy much for your informations ! So i was not that wrong :D but it‘s just impossible to find 1 1/2 to 2 l in the internet or etsy… and the markets here in Switzerland don‘t sell these particular pots , seems like i have to be fine with a 2,5 l 🤷🏻♀️ however , looking forward to more of your beautifull content ! Hails ✊🏼
You're right that the orange carrots we know today weren't around during the Viking era, but carrots did exist back then. They were likely white or purple, and would have been used in their cooking. The orange variety was developed later in the 17th century.
@@RavensOfAsgard Ja of course, i eas being picky as I hatr how many people make "Traditional Viking food" yet use ingredients that didnt exist then. Jolly good show old chap.
You are right. Vikings did not use potateos and neither did we. There are subtitles for every ingredients we use in video and there is surely no potateos at all. It is all about rutabag and carrot.

You are right, it is not Scandinavian. It is about Baltic vikings (Garðar, Rus or Routsi) who were trading and raiding on the river routes between the Baltic and the Black Seas. Settling Novgorod, Kiev, etc on their way to Miklagard.
@@RavensOfAsgard but did the rus actually cook shashlik? Is it a sure fact? Or could it have been brought by others like the cossacks or even the Huns like some else has mentioned
@@darkdevil905 Roasting piece of meat on a stick over a fire is old as humans. You can call it shaslik, skewers, nabodala, even kebab if you realy want it. The point is, there is no writen word for that name especially on some runestones or whatever from that period of time, so it is all guessing how did they call it back then.
Please post a recipe or a link to one.

I was just thinking the same thing like look how far in technology we have come. Also on what we take for granted.

Yum yum rutabaga! Those ramson leaves remind me of ramps, a North American wild leek.
Yea, they looks very similar. It is good to boost your immune system with one of the first signs of spring.
Makes me want to go out into the wilds
Just do it. It's in our nature to be out there ;)
Ok now I’m hungry even though I don’t like vegetables it makes me want to eat vegetables great vid
I want to taste everything around the world...someday I will try this too

Shashlik is an example of the Viking influence on Russian culture as if the name russia wasn’t already A huge hint as the name Russia is derived from the Rus’ Vikings
“Rus,” which is where the name “Russia” comes from, purportedly derives from an old Nordic word for “men who row.”
This meal was also known in Turkic tribes too, and is known in modern-day Turkey now, it is called "şaşlık kebabı"

I never read in the sagas the Vikings carried lard. I did read them carrying butter, though, with loaves of bread.
The butter is more sustainable and accessible over all year long, that's why is more preferable especially for longer voyages and storage.
@@RavensOfAsgard Tastes better, too
could you tell us what weeds your eating, please?
It is bear leek aka ramsons.
Hey there! I love your cooking pot, I'd like to get one like that of my own! Could you post a link?
Hey Joseph.
It was bought in Prague, Czech Republic, at Šermířska burza. Can't remember the seller's name.
Stay safe.
This all looks so good! What did you use to marinate the chicken? Stay safe and well.
Thank you. The chicken was marinated in vegetable oil, salt and mediterranean spice mix.
Take care Phoebe.
Did the Viking went around bringing their cooking utensils?
Sure, even more, this is nothing compared to sarcina what was the marching backpack carried by roman legionaries.
The bear leak would have saved me alot of work at camp if I knew it was edible
Knowing how to forage for wild edible plants around you is always a great skill. I can say without doubt bear leak is 💯% my favorite.
Stay safe.
👍👍👍😉
What is that green leaf called that you are gathering and eating?
bear leek aka ramsons
@@RavensOfAsgard thank you!
what were the ravens names
What is the name of the leaf you are eating on?

Viking SHASHLIK? Man, are you serious? Wat's next? Viking burrito?
Lol! Also, potatoes are a new world crop, thus there were no potatoes in Europe until Columbus set sail.
@@catocall7323 Where do you see potatoes? Did i miss something?
@@Husanovich I thought he was peeling a potato, was he peeling something else?
@@catocall7323 It is rutabaga and carrot if i am not mistaken ;)
@@Husanovich ohh.
That makes sense
the carrot did not exist in the Viking Age. it came to Sweden in the 17th century

@@RavensOfAsgard you are absolutely right. Great video you make. I'm from Sweden and studied a lot about the Viking age and their food is very good.
@@svall09 thx, it means a lot😁
This guy's going to shave the skin off his fingers one day cutting like that.
I like cooking, so what is "marinated chicken?" Ingredients?
The chicken has been marinated in onions, garlic, salt, wine and some basic mediterranean spices like thyme..
Stay safe😉
@@RavensOfAsgard Thanks man, sounds delicious!
I hope that rootplant wasn't a potato as they didn't exist in Europe for another several hundred years.
It is rutabaga and carrot.
Potato is not viking periode accurate.
@@RavensOfAsgard Ratabaga just translates to "Root Vegetable" in english, was it a Turnip or Swede maybe?
It was Swede. You can also use Turnip, the point is to use what you have available atm/ seasonal vegetables.
@@RavensOfAsgard Ja of course, i eas being picky as I hatr how many people make "Traditional Viking food" yet use ingredients that didnt exist then. Jolly good show old chap.
Nice, but vikings didnt know potatoes ;)
You are right. Vikings did not use potateos and neither did we. There are subtitles for every ingredients we use in video and there is surely no potateos at all. It is all about rutabag and carrot.
Sorry there are potatoes in th soup or it's
someting diffrent?
it is rutabag and carrot
I wish I knew what the ingredients were

@@RavensOfAsgard thank you very much, can’t wait to make this soup for my family this weekend’s camping trip
You are welcome. Lovely, enjoy nature and have a great time camping with your family.
Rutabaga wasnt domesticated until the 1600 hundreds so it would not have a staple food in the viking times
Rutabage aka swede grows wild in Sweden. In 1600 was just first written reference by Gaspard Bauhin.
@@RavensOfAsgard I did not know that. Is it a common wild plant in swedene? How big does the edible part get wild?
I will have to do some research on that matter to give you a proper answer.
Sorry but shashlik is russian not Scandinavian

Actually Shashlik originates from the caucaus mountains
How is this viking cooking lol?
How is it not?
This channel is nice for history/vikings fanatics but vikings didn't know how to use chopsticks 🥢 though
Thank you Azuhiko Panda. Instead of forks, vikings did use metal skewers. It is very similar to chopsticks, but used differently.
